I have been looking for this kind of tips & tricks and this is the only one that really helped me. it was concise and straight to the point. thank you so much.

Your channel not only had me subscribe… but also inspired me to unsubscribe from the endless others where you’re lucky to get a truly *useful* tip but just maybe once a year & 80% of tips are well known recycled nonsense. So, thank you for maintaining a wide birth from the hyperbolic. You’re crushing it. ❤

Love how fast you explain everything and yet clearly! TY so much!

Great! I like Shift CMD 5 for screenshots you can either hit capture on a specific area or just enter if it's the screen shot you want, and videos as well. It has more options and is quite useful.

Thank you so much. As a noob Mac user I recommend everyone this video. It was a very useful video. not the big talks just straight to the main topic. Thank you again

I'm a social media manager so I use a LOT of different apps every day. The split screen tip, for me, is the highlight of this video. This is going to help me tremendously! Thanks so much. (also the emoji access shortcut for captions, etc)

thanks command three was the good one bro greets from Belgium

for me:
1. for the emojis part, I like to make a little change in the settings so whenever I press FN it gives me the emoji keyboard
2. I like to do Shift CMD 5, it gives you both options 3 and 4, and if you want it to be picture or video with which mic, etc
3. Actually the lookup feature is true with 3 fingers (as you said) and not with 1 finger as you write
4. Since you talked about split screen, I think checking out the application named Magnet in the app store would be something you would like! I didn't know there was an actual split in mac so I tried to see if there were any other options and I came by this application it gives you so many options

Here's some extra tip
you can change the formatting of a photo let's say from PNG to JPEG just by renaming that file into the formatting you want! not only limited to photos for sure but I can for example switch from PPTX to pdf just by renaming that file :)

I really loved the video! it is amazing and the space feature with the preview will definitely come in handy! thank you so much, Michael have a blessed day

Tap to click on the trackpad is a game changer for me. I also enabled it on my Magic Keyboard for my iPad Pro.

getting to my apps quick was the best for me saves so much time

[gomuGomuu]

The click setting was the best! I can't thank you enough :') my fingers were killing me.

[AnilAtluriWord]

Thank you, Michael. Cmd+Ctr+Space is good tip! 🙂

[radekloskot]

Great instructional video. My favourite tip was quiting apps quickly. I am still learning shortcuts. Thank you.

[DevWithEv]

Thanks for the helpful tips! I especially liked the split screen one. I had no idea! Keep up the great work!

[raulsifuentes]

I'm new to the Apple ecosystem, and I need to write down a bunch of these tips. I loved the opening up and closing of pictures by pressing down the space bar. I also like how to close out an app pressing the cmd + Q key. Thanks for the presentation. I was wondering how to save live video in case i want to play games and edit them later.

You can slide from one software to another while you are in full screen by just sliding your all three fingers right to left and vice and versa.

when you pulled up the emoji tab, at 1:52, for me, I only need to press the FN "the little globe" and it opens up instantly, thanks for the tips they really helped a lot

[ronyescobar]

the TAP TO CLICK is a game changer thank you so much
